What an unforgettable night! Holiday Handbags 2025 was nothing short of magical as our community came together to kick off the festive season with generosity, joy, and unstoppable compassion.
Because of YOU, we raised an incredible $350,000 NET in support of compassionate care at St. Joseph’s Villa and Margaret’s Place Hospice. From the laughter shared with friends old and new, to bidding with purpose during our silent and live auctions, and the heartfelt moments during our Gift of Care, this night truly showed the power of community.

We are deeply grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Fengate Asset Management, and to every guest, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and community partner who helped make this our most successful Holiday Handbags yet.

We are thrilled to share photos of the evening courtesy of the incredibly talented Donna Waxman; swipe through to relive some of the magic!

• 425 long-term care residents and their families at St. Joseph’s Villa
• Hospice residents and loved ones at Margaret’s Place Hospice
